Reply to comment by New_Stats in Chris Christie in the beach chair will never get old… by carlosdangertaint

By what measure is he unelectable? That’s bubble talk man. You may not care but that’s quite an off putting statement.

The one where he ran in the republican primary and got like 1% of the vote.

Not a man

You're right, I do not care that you might not like me because I apply reasonable logic to hard facts.

And I'm sure you do not care about the horrible misogyny in using masculine terms to describe everyone, even the half that it does not apply to.

I actually do care, sorry. And for what it’s worth I don’t like or dislike you. Don’t fucking know you. This is reddit. I’m just saying that fat jokes are not really the kind that transcend the boundaries of political discourse.

Still, even if he has declined in popularity, he ran in a very unusual Republican primary, But things change in politics very rapidly. Relatively speaking Christie’s crimes are not he kind that a general electorate would give a fuck about. He pivoted to the center hard after he got out of the Trump campaign, and I could imagine him rebranding nationally.

And I’m not saying this because I like him, he has one of the most ridiculous weed platforms in the entire country. This dude’s criminal justice record is bonkers in my opinion. Still, I find the fat jokes pretty tasteless, and something that people would recoil if said in any other context.
